Chicken with Shallot Sauce Recipe

“Even though it doesn't take long to put together, this flavorful chicken tastes like it simmered all day. It’s wonderful with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable.”—Kathy Anderson, Rockford, Illinois

KATHY’S TIP: You can easily peel the garlic cloves by smashing them slightly with the flat side of a chef’s knife, or buy cloves that are already peeled to save time.

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings.

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; brown in drippings. Remove and keep warm. Add shallots; cook and stir until tender. Stir in water and garlic. Return chicken to pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads 170°-175°.
